Neonatal Care

Ezra gave Syanna a smirk and a playful glare as she congratulated him on doing the "minimum" of his role, nipping at her tail as it flicked across his shoulder. He knew she was just ribbing him and giving him a hard time and he always enjoyed their banter. Still, he also knew she was right about needing more paws on the ground if he was going to make up for their two missing hunters while they had a pregnant queen and soon many other mouths to feed. He hoped Rudyard and Fern were having a lovely time on their honeymoon, but he also hoped that they hurried back so their usual crew of hunters would be back at full force soon.

His thoughts were disrupted as the kettle Syanna had been boiling began to whistle, pulling his attention back to her and her work. He of course admired how dedicated she liked to be to her work, but it always made it all the more tempting to distract her from it and pull her away into much more fun activities. He never stole her away enough to fully derail her entire body of work, but most certainly enough that she would occasionally scold him for it—though that was more than worth it to get to enjoy his incredibly attractive girlfriend as often as he did. When she said she was going to go get herbs for the tea while he put away his kills, he shot her a grin and replied, "Alright, beautiful." He watched her go, his ice blue gaze watching the sway of her hips and tail before she entirely disappeared past the doorframe.

He lingered there for a moment, glancing between the prey that was laying on the counter and the doorway that lead back out into the hall. Sure, he could be good and put away his kills and wait patiently for her to return, but what was the fun in that? He waited for a moment longer to take sure she had enough of a head start that she wouldn't immediately notice him following her. After a few beats he peeked out of the door to make sure the coast was clear before he made his way out quietly and stealthily, following her all the way to the pharmacy while keeping a good distance between them so she wouldn't catch on to his plan.

He peeked around the corner and waited till he saw the end of her white tipped tail disappear past the pharmacy door before he kept going with a sly grin on his lips. This wasn't the first time he had ambushed his darling girlfriend in here and it certainly wouldn't be the last if he had anything to say about it. At least this time he already knew where the piece of wood was in the corner that he could lock the door with. He stepped inside and quickly pushed the door closed before any of her protests could be heard by anyone outside, shooting her a grin as he pulled the piece of wood over the door and wedged it into place before he strode across the room to her and claimed her mouth in an insistent kiss, a quiet rumble sounding in his chest while his paw slipped up to rest on the back of her head.
